Richmond/Norfolk LPR Misread and ParkMobile Sync Defense
Richmond and Norfolk both deploy LPR-equipped enforcement vehicles. Common misreads (0/O, 1/I/L) and ParkMobile session-sync failures produce erroneous citations. Where the citation photo plate doesn't match, or where ParkMobile records show payment was active across the citation timestamp, dismissal is routine.
Legal basis
Code of Virginia §46.2-1220; Richmond City Code §27-414; Norfolk City Code §39-50
Sample appeal wording
